TOUR TO ÖLAND

Today we have visited an island called Öland. It is located beside the city Kalmar in the historical province Småland. After a drive with our rented Ford Focus we arraved the island at about 10 o'clock. The island is connected to the mainland by the six kilometer long Ölandbridge:


At first we tried to go to the coast to get a view from the sea. So we found a campsite, where Dani had some fun with domestic children :)

Afterwards we traveled up to the most northern part of the island, to a village called Byxelkrok with a wonderful historical lighthouse:

We also found some windmils which are special because they can be rotated over a wooden axis:

We enjoyed the tour and finished the trip with a birthday lunch for Dani at a nice restaurant at Borgholm directly at the seaside:
